Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Just as a sidenote, the gear you used is called "Juksa" or "Jukse" in Norwegian. I've never looked into if there's a regional meaning to this word (the technique is mostly used quite far north), but if there's no regional meaning to the word, it translates to "cheater" or "cheating". :)

The jig at the end is called "Svenskepilken" in Norwegian (meaning "The Swedish Jig" - how's that for ironic hehe) and the rubber tube hooks are called "Gummimakk" (meaning "Rubber Worms").

Cool to find a post from the seas of Svalbard, Norway, I hope you had a lovely time there. :)
